Journalism at Its Flood Tide.

The Globe Democrat last Sunday
consisted of twenty-si1 pages. The
Republican had about the same num-
Der. The Kansas City Journal and
Times had twenty-four each. The
Chicago papers had about the same
number of pages, and the exchange
editors desk was sight to behold
There was paper enough in these
journals to print the whole edition
of many country paper, and yet all
of them were filed to overfowing;
not with the news of the day, but
with essays and stories. with poetry,
with songs, music and words. They

Mr.. William Steele had exhumed
last Monday the bodies of his little
child, William Warren, who died
March 18th, 1876, and James Steele,
his brother, who died April 10th 1881.
The remains of the child were almost
entirely passed into dust. James
Steele was buried in a metallic cas-
ket and it was filed with water and
the body was floating up against the
glass. Small holes had to be drilled
in the bottom of the casket in order
to let the water out. The body.
which before looked somewhat nat
ural, at once collapsed when the wa
ter was gone. A more popular, and

went to his long sleep than Jimmie
Steele. The bodies were placed il

reservoirs into which all classes OF
writers pour their products, and
from which all classes OF readers
draw their inspiration, or amusement,
or information as the case may be.
We are of the opinion that jour
nalism is at its flood tide. There are
no longer newspapers-they are re-
views, as we'll. They embody every
form of literary work.
We deem it highly probable that
within the next ten years there win
be a remarkable condensing process
undergone, The daily paper will be
reduced again to something like its
former proportions, and it will be-
come the purveyor of news, not the
medium by which novelists, poets,
essayists and critics will reach their
readers.
And it will be better so. These
great newspapers defy the best ef-
forts of the most assiduous- reader
to keep up with them. The best
that he can do is to get a smattering
OF what is contained in the 100 or
more columns of matter. The papers
will be reduced to reasonable pro-
portions and good writing, careful
literary style, and the briefest ind
cleanest accounts of real and cm rent
events will be its contents, with only
such comment as is of necessity

A law was passed in Ohio a short
time ago turning all the public
schools of the state into mixed
schools, and the result is that all the
rich whites have withdrawn their
children and placed them in private
institutions of learning. 1t is stated
that in Ohio the negro vote is 10000,
and as the two political parties arc
about equal in strength, the repuhli
can Legislature passed the law in
order to win over the negro VOTE
Now the poorer class of white pee
pie, who have not the means of
sending their children to private
schools and are compelled to have
them mixed up with the negroes, are
indignant, and the chances are the
republican party will lose more votes
than it gained by it's political trick.
The negroes are not entirely satisfied
with the law, because when the mix
ture of children occurred, white
teachers were placed in all the
schools formerly devoted exclusively
to the education of the blacks and
the colored teachers were discharged
and compelled to hunt pastures

The case against Henry, the SEN
sual preacher, of Odessa, charged
with seducing a young girl, has come
to an end with verdict of guilty.
The evidence was conclusive to his
guilt and all efforts to whitewash
the letcherous old pious fraud were
unavailing. But what can be dones
the law is lamentably weak. If he
had stolen an old ten dollar horse
the penitentiary would:have been his
punishment, butas hehas onlyru,ned
for life and destroyed forever the
guiless life of a budding young
woman the punishment is merely
nominal. A few months will suffice
to reinstate him in the estimation of
many people; he need only look con-
trite and draw out his sanctimonious
face a little longer and all will be
forgiven. But how about his victim
whose young heart and soul he en-
ticed to utter social destruction and

with red ears and maiden whiskers,
and the third was the brides mother.
They were at the union depot last
night, having come in on the narrow
guage to take the train East. The
young man clasped his wife's fat
band, rolled up his eyes and they
both seemed happy, while the moth
g-in-law paraded up and down the
sitting room with lordly air and
seemed satisfied. Pretty soon the
groom went out, and when he re-
turned he threw five popcorn balls
and big bar of peanut candy into
tae, brides lap, and handed the old
lady another. She turned up her
rose, raised her spectacles and thus
addressed the young man with red

The Use of Looms.

The crazy screams of the loon are heard
again through the silent watches of the
night and at early morn. Seven were
seen sporting themselves in Pigeon Lake
the other morning. 1t will be good
thing if they become numerous around
here, as they will make magnificent sport
for the innocent shootists who come in
the summer with their kits If there is
anything that will tickle a loon to death
it is to get pair of breech loading,
nickel mounted, double and twist, brown
canvas, copper riveted throughout, city
sportsmen after him. He will stand on
his head and kick at the clouds with de
light. He will sit on the water like an
old-fashioned three decker with his of
eye shut, and his beak on the grin, till
the city chap thinks that if he can't blow
that galoot clean out of the water at the
first pop it would be useless his shooting
at a barn. Then he draws up, holds his
breath, shuts his eyes, and pops. SO
likewise does the loon, and while the
sport is confuscdly looking for the pieces,
the loon comes up within four feet aud
half of the boat and laughs-a wild lu-
matte laugh. Then the rowing and
shooting commences, and if the loon
does not take at least five hours hilarious
fun out of them, why, he must be a young
one and not feeling extra well Yes,
looms should be encouraged. Bobcayge0n

A Great Tenor's Vocal Practice.

When Mime. Patti is a guest at the
Windsor, people passing the door of her
apartments are occasionally startled by
a series Of nasal quacks, if they can be so
described, terminating in a vocal tone
that gradually becomes clear and power
full. The first impression produced on the
listener is that some foreign fowl is essay
ing its vocal powers, but later develop
ments and inquiry make known that the
strange sounds are produced by Signor
Nicolini at practice Signor Nicolini be
gins by directing his tones toward the
head, and, having "placed" them proper
ly, sustains and strengthens them. In
this method he attributes the preservation
of his voice, which most tenors who sing
wholly from the chest would long since
have ruined by incautious use.-Ae0
